Drunk Bitches & Politics

You KNOW we had to talk about the impeachment hearings! Taylor, Kent, Yovanovitch- we hit on everything you need to know from the first week. We go tin foil hat a couple of times, we go back in time to 2016, and we speculate on Trump’s life after office before we gleefully discuss Roger Stone’s conviction. And we couldn’t miss the opportunity to talk about what Obama said that has outraged many liberals. As always, we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day. Tangents include nasty songs, expanding your vocabulary, the Louisiana election Wine this week: Gentleman’s Collection Cabernet Sauvignon and Kings of Prohibition Cabernet Shiraz Red Blend (thanks to Caryn for sponsoring this week’s bottles!)

We couldn’t wait until our regularly scheduled day to talk about Tuesday night’s election results. We cover the amendments in Texas, the big governor race in Kentucky, and all the winning in Virginia. And after celebrating these success stories, we speculate on 2020 where talk turns to Field (FIELD WINS ELECTIONS!) and how do we change the culture of voting? And finally, Mishy updates us with poll data out of Iowa. Tangents include geography and NATO.

DBAP is back after a couple of week’s hiatus!! We give you the latest rundown on Orangeman’s looming impeachment proceedings, discuss the US Congresswoman Katie Hill’s tragic throuple relationship, get some breaking news while we are recording, and cover what might be next for Beto since his abrupt exit from the 2020 POTUS Dem nomination campaign. Mishy has a prediction about Beto, you don’t want to miss this. As always, we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day. Tangents include Daylight Savings Time, Trump’s relocation plan, campaign sexcapades, and What Happened on The Cruise Wine this week: Bogle Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Rae & Michelle were on vacation, so we have a special “all the wines” episode to tide you over. We will be back with a new episode Monday, November 4. Like this special episode? Let us know!

It was an extremely heavy news week, and we did our best to cover it all. We kick it off with all things in impeachment news, before getting into a heated discussion about 2 people that watched a football game. Mishy gives us all the latest on Turkey, Syria and the Kurds, and we try to hit a few more news stories before we wrap it up with Rae’s Bae of the Day. Tangents include Pulp Fiction, View from the Top, and Goop. Wine this week: Broquel Malbec (thanks to Leo for sponsoring this week’s bottle!)

Michelle, our host, is back this week! And thank goodness because we had so much fuck shit to cover. We begin with an update from Mishy on the Amber Guyger murder trial of Botham Jean with verdict and sentencing, including reactions from Brandt’s emotional testimony. Michelle covers the latest faux news story to come from the Trumpsters regarding presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s BDSM affair. Then Rae leads us on a Whistleblower journey packed with all the goodies of an old fashioned impeachment. Tangents include: jury duty and work emails. As always, we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day. Wines this week: Double Dog Dare Merlot, Truth and Valor Cabernet Links: https://bothamjeanfoundation.org/

A co-host is missing this week so you get two girls, one pod, and a late episode. This is the week for some overdue justice. Trump might be getting impeached, and to celebrate, we got some sponsored impeachment juice from a Super Drunk Delegate. Amber Guyger sheds some invisible damn tears for herself while on the stand as we await the verdict on her trial for the murder of Botham Jean. Tangents include needing a backup plan for the pod once Trump is gone and the world is normal again, names for said podcasts, petty attacks on Andrew Johnson, and the proper pronunciation of the word "pecan". Dust off that impeachment bottle of wine you've been saving and sip as we marinate in these pre-justice juices in preparation for the justice we're about to receive! As always, we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day. Drinks this week: Meiomi pinot noir (sponsored by Drunk Delegate Leo!), Backwoods Pecan Pie liqueur

This week, we're back to the regular scheduled programming in full force. Grab a couple of bottles and be prepared to go over the craziest week. Topics this week include a whistleblower complaint on 45, even though it should be sirens at this point. Rudy Giuliani goes ape shit on live TV and Justin Trudeau lost his damn mind. The white kids Naruto run toward the aliens and young people give us some hope for the future as they hold the entire global community accountable for climate justice. Tangents include Rebecca Black, bunkers, Marilyn Monroe, weed philosophy As always, we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day.

North Carolina Republicans have a sneaky vote on 9/11, and no one knew what was happening, even reporters. We then talk Real ID and find out if Mishy ever got her driver’s license renewed. Tangents include offending Italians, Welcome Back Kotter, and the super-secret Flower Mound DPS office. As always, we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day. Wine this week: Gabbiano Cavaliere D'Oro Chianti

You’ve listened to everyone else’s hot takes on the 3rd debate, now sit down with us. Grab a whole damn bottle, because we’re gonna need it! Yes it was down to one night, but there were still TEN PEOPLE ON STAGE, Y’ALL. We run down who they were, how much talk time they got, who had memorable answers, and we give our winners and losers of the night. Tangents include Oompa Loompas, Michelle staging a coup. Around 28:40 we had some technical problems that we didn’t catch until we had finished recording, so unfortunately there is a dubbed section and a few seconds here and there that cut out. Our general points come through, but we apologize for it. Wine this week: Sexy Wine Bomb red blend

Mishy & Michelle are sick, so we are going into our reserve and pulling out an unaired episode we recorded in July. We’ve got our third Shots! episode and we’re already not following our own rules. Oh well, that’s what happens when we’re 4 bottles in. We hit on 90 Day Fiancé as a Drunk Delegate request, Mueller being asked to testify (can you believe this was less than 2 months ago?!), Trump’s Social Media Summit, and American Food among many others. Grab a drink of your choice and enjoy!! Like this special episode? Let us know!

We got a lot to talk about this week y’all, and we are the Segue Queens. We kick it off with a rundown of the candidates that are leaving the race and Stacey Abrams, whose official title should be Gatekeeper of Democracy and Voter Protection. We hit on Trump’s latest crazy talk about repealing the 14th Amendment, and we cover the connection between Colin Kaepernick, the NFL, and Jay-Z. It’s a hard knock life y’all. Tangents include Texas DPS, the Notorious RBG, how much Texans loves Texas, and Mimi on the internet. As always, we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day. Wines this week: Pinot Evil Pinot Noir, Bistrot Chic red blend, Becker Vinyards Merlot We’ll be off next week for Labor Day, so enjoy yourselves Drunk Delegates!

DBAP has our first guest! Mat Pruneda, Democratic candidate for US House District 26 (TX) and honorary Bitch, joins us for cocktails and political discussion, and tries to steer clear of any of our usual raunchy banter. We chat about Trump’s desire to purchase Greenland, the Pentagon wanting to get into our brains with Amazon’s help, and Mat’s policies on healthcare and the environment. Tangents include pig farmers, the looming recession, “bubble behavior”, and Mat’s favorite taco truck. As always, we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day.

We made it to Episode 20 y’all and DBAP is celebrating with some margaritas! Mishy gives an interesting description of the tequila, you don’t want to miss it. We discuss the aftermath of the latest mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, and we have a LOT of tin foil hats on related topics. Mishy gives us the run down on Texodus. Somewhere in there Michelle & Mishy sprinkle in many moments that turn Rae crimson, we wonder about yet another Uncle Joe WTF moment, and while talking about Joaquin Castro dropping the dime on Trump donors, we have a heated discussion about Whataburger vs. In-N-Out. If we got anything wrong, “blame it on the a a a a a alcohol." As always we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day.

DBAP discusses the 2nd round of Democratic debates, and yes, they are still a gazillion people running. We share our personal highlights plus winners/losers of both nights, and also our dream that round 3 will have less than 10 people on just one night. One can only hope, right?? Somehow in there we find a way to discuss Sanjaya from American Idol and Doc from Back to the Future. As always we end with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day.

So much this week, so little time to discuss it all, but DBAP gives it the old college try. Of course wine always helps, and we try a red Zinfandel this week- who knew this even existed?! We explore the Mueller testimony, in all its great boring details, but there are a couple of aha moments. Then we examine the latest ICE detaining of a US citizen- yeah, you read that right. And as always we close with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week, and Rae’s Bae of the Day. Note: The sound drops out at 12:16 mark so we lost about 2 seconds of audio. Sorry!

The Drunk Bitches have their first wine sponsor! Thank you to our Drunk Delegate and listener, Beast! It was so awesome Mishy did a research paper on it. This week, DBAP take on the awful version of a human that is Epstein and his enabler Acosta, and we definitely have on our tinfoil hats for some segments. We also discuss the latest Orangeman’s raids on undocumented persons which turns into a discussion about Immigration, and we get a first-hand account of the confusing and discombobulated process of becoming a US citizen from Mishy (get your tissue because it’s a hell of a story). Links: We talk about another podcast, Crime Junkie Podcast, so if that interests you, definitely check out their episode on the sexual abuse ring at North Fox Island. https://crimejunkiepodcast.com/conspiracy-north-fox-island-the-oakland-county-child-killer-part-1/ Mishy’s resource/bible during her immigration challenges https://www.visajourney.com/

Disney announced the new Ariel and social media EXPLODED, so you know DBAP had to talk about it. Rae drops her Disney knowledge, Mishy drops her knowledge about Halle Bailey and we all talk about the power of the black dollar. Side note- neither Mishy nor Michelle know what a dinglehopper is.

This week we discuss, over some damn good wine, the Orangeman’s tragic rain filled display of authoritarianism (cliff notes- it was a dick measuring contents and Trump came up short). We dive into some very interesting poll numbers after the Dem debates so get out your calculators, and maybe go off on a tangent about automation and the future of jobs? Mishy has her Asshole of the Day/Week/Century and Rae’s Bae of the Day is an entire legislative body. Links Poll Results: http://www.focusonruralamerica.com/2019/07/03/july-2019-poll-results/

We’re back and drunker than ever for Night 2 of the Dem Debates! Love was in the air from spiritual candidate Marianne but not for Uncle Joe, as he displayed his ugly old white guy ways and quadruple downed on past mistakes. Kamala had us sipping all that tea (well, alcohol in our case), we tried to figure out how Bernie has become so damn problematic (and how did he lose Symone Sanders?!) and weigh in on how Mayor Pete handled a tough question. And as always we close with Mishy’s Asshole of the Week and Rae’s Bae of the Day. Links: Knittedknockers.org
